A Reliable Solution for Missing Teeth
Missing teeth are a common problem that American adults face.
According to estimates by the American College of Prosthodontists, over 36 million Americans do not have any of their natural teeth remaining! They also found that about 120 million Americans are missing at least one tooth.
While missing teeth are common, they can still impact your dental functioning as well as your self-confidence. Replacing those teeth improves your smile’s look and abilities.
Dentures are one restoration option for addressing many (or all) missing teeth.
Turn to Victory Smiles Dental Center denture clinic for all of your denture needs! We are here to help you address missing teeth and get a healthy and beautiful smile.
What are Dentures?
Dentures are a dental solution that has been around for a long time. While the dentures of today are much different than those used decades ago, they still remain an effective tooth replacement solution.
Patients who are missing many teeth or an entire dental arch can benefit from denture prostheses. We create a custom set of dentures with an acrylic base and artificial teeth that blend with natural gums and teeth.
After securing your dentures, you can eat and talk with confidence. They’re easy to clean and will help you enjoy your smile again.
Full vs. Partial Dentures
We offers both partial and full dentures. Partial dentures are ideal for those who are missing some teeth but also still have natural teeth. Clip them into your mouth to fill in the gaps.
Patients missing all teeth or a full dental arch can benefit from full dentures. If your existing teeth cannot support partial dentures, then you may also need full dentures. How do you know which denture option is best for you? During your consultation, we evaluate your smile and will help you determine which solution is the best fit.
Denture Implants
Typically, dentures are a removable solution. If you need to replace a lot of missing teeth, you may prefer a fixed solution. Denture implants blend the benefits of dental implants (security) and dentures (replacing many teeth) into one solution. We’re happy to explain more about how the process works and determine if you are a good candidate for denture implants.
Denture Care Tips
If you want dentures to last, then you must take proper care of them. A few helpful tips to keep in mind are:
- Wash dentures before reinserting.
- Remove dentures for sleep and store in a cleaning solution.
- Brush dentures, but use a gentle brush and suitable toothpaste.
- If the dentures are painful or ill-fitting, visit the dentist for an exam and denture repair.
